The area is already hopping in six zones, fully committed to saving energy and reducing consumption. Powered by a roster of 22 renewable energy sources, the region boasts a collective capacity of 571.3 MW. This lineup comprises six hydroelectric, ten wind, and six solar power plants.
Dive into the future with Masdar, a UAE-based company, who are gearing up to build a 1 GW wind power plant in the Sarysu and Talas districts. Projected to cost a cool 742 billion tenge (US$1.4 billion), construction starts in 2026 and hits the ground running in 2029.
Total Eren is set to develop a second 1 GW wind energy project located in the Moiynkum district. With an investment of one trillion tenge (US$1.9 billion) and a homestead of 52,000 hectares of land, the project is slated for commissioning in 2028.
Last year, the Shokpar wind power plant, with a capacity of 100 MW, took center stage in the Sarysu district. Not one to fall behind, the AEC ASA solar power plant in the Zhambyl district also expanded its capacity by 20 MW.
